Contraceptive Injection

I have been on the nuesterate injection for about 20 months and up until about two months ago had not had any adverse side effects eg weight gain etc however, I feel like I am gaining weight but only on the mid section ...tummy waist area. Could this be as a result of use of this method or am I just using this as an excuse!!!Help , I need to know whether I should change to another means of contraception. I am 34 years old and have 3 kids.
